Biden to hold solo news conference after Putin summit
CARBIS BAY, England (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden will hold a solo news conference after meeting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin next week, denying the former KGB spy an elevated international platform to castigate the West and sow discord. Putin's bravura performance at a 2018 news conference with Donald Trump led to shock when the then U.S. president cast doubt on the findings of his own intelligence agencies and flattered the Russian leader. Talking about the summit alone will also spare Biden, 78, from open jousting with Putin, 68, before the world's media after what is certain to be a combative encounter.

Vaccine incentives: Who's giving them and how you can claim them
As California pushes state incentives to get people vaccinated by June 15, more public and private companies are doing the same. Once again, Gov. Gavin Newsom drew out 15 winners of the $50,000 Friday Cash Prizes as part of the Vax For The Win effort. "Incentives are a good thing. I don't think they're going to work forever. I think it's going to be a fine percent of the population that would respond to those incentives but we've seen some evidence now from these lotteries around the country that vaccination rates have gone up," says Dr. Brad Pollock, associate dean for public health sciences at UC Davis School of Medicine See more in the video above.
